Carol of the Saws (to the tune of "Carol of the Bells")

Verse 1

Hark! How the Saws
Sweet buzzing saws
All seem to say,
"Let's build away."
Here comes the crew
So much to do
Trusses to make
Cookies to bake

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
That's what it does
Cutting the wood
Just like it should
Setting the plate
Making it straight
On to the press
Look at this mess!!

Bring on the 'lift,
Don't move too swift,
Stack them to ship,
Have a safe trip,
On the jobsite,
Unload them right,
Wasn't that fun?

Very, very, very, very, Awesome!
Very, very, very, very, Awesome!

Just like we should

Gratitude showed
Got some good press
